The 163.1km race begins at the Markt in Brugge and travels westward along the North Sea toward De Panne.
The route passes through Zedelgem, Aartrijke, Eernegem, Koekelare, Zevekote-Gistel, St-Pieters-Kapelle, Mannekensvere, Ramskapelle, Veurne, Oostduinkerke, and Koksijde before reaching the start of the De Panne circuits.
The first 100km of the race, prior to reaching the circuits, will be completely exposed to crosswinds and potential rain which could prompt echelons and splits in the peloton along the coast of the North Sea.
The peloton will tackle two local circuits in De Panne with a new finish in Zeelaan,. Riding in the opposite direction to previous editions, the circuit takes the peloton through the decisive De Moeren and offers few flashpoints for attackers but the perfect backdrop for a bunch sprint.
